The KFC menu is the same, but apparently McDonald�s has something called a Bacon Roll that is unique to Britain, and they also sell porridge. Also, the Filet-o-fish used to be called a McMariner (I guess to make it sound less Irish).

There are some other unappetizing things listed here.

Sadly, EU regulations prevent the British from enjoying any caramel colouring level higher than III, but this could soon change.

Wouldn't that be, like, incredibly disastrous for the UK? Even if it's just for a day, wouldn't that be really really bad?

Yes

Brexit�poses “real risks” to the cost, availability and quality of the UK's�food supplies, which the Government has shown little sign of addressing, researchers claim.

A report from food policy specialists�has warned the forthcoming break from Europe will lead to “chaos” unless ministers establish a clear plan on how a new food system will operate.

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/aug/29/hello-spam-and-tinned-peaches-is-britain-facing-a-brexit-food-crisis

quote:

“There are ways and means,” says Damian Fowler, another New Covent Garden wholesaler who depends on frictionless access to the Channel tunnel.

So far, much of the political focus has been on these opportunities for exporters, rather than potential headaches for importers or consumers. The Department for International Trade says it is time to start selling more “high-quality innovative British jams and marmalades” to countries such as France.

This, together with the fear that a lack of immigrant manpower means that British produce will be left rotting in the fields if not preserved, seems to indicate the post-brexit economy will be largely jam-based (especially when Labour takes power)

It would revert to WTO rules, meaning immediate price hikes:

"According to a group of�University of Cambridge�economists, under a "hard Brexit" whereby the UK reverts to WTO rules, one-third of UK exports to the EU would be tariff-free, one-quarter would face high trade barriers and other exports risk tariffs in the range of 1-10%."

Presumably this can be offset by further removing the ridges in Toblerones, turning them into flat candy bars, and other similar tricks.

The real problem will be with customs enforcement. They're not just going to stop importing for, but everything going into and out of the UK will have to be examined by customs agents one side of the border or another. There are currently tons of EU-wide regulations for that stuff, and after Brexit the EU will still have those rules, and the UK will still have some set of rules maybe? Very long lines for customs inspections will slow down the entire supply chain.

I once was in the UK and went to a market right before flying back to Europe, and had a giant chunk of venison and a bunch of vegetables that I took with me as carry-on and made into a Sunday roast immediately after getting home. That probably won't be possible anymore, I imagine.

Yeah. Exactly.

Which is why I'm quite happy to stomp on the referendum all day long if it comes to that - national suicide by economic hydrogen bomb simply can't be allowed to happen, regardless of whether 52% swivel eyed old racists want to drive the rest of us off a cliff

Wasn't the proposed referendum just to approve or disapprove of the plan that is negotiated up to that point? And if it is rejected, it defaults to no deal hard brexit?

I think literally any deal is better than none

Time will take care of that. Reminds me of a riddle:

This thing all things devours,
Birds, beasts, trees, and flowers.
Gnaws iron, bites steel,
Grinds hard stones to meal,
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down

it's Brexit

I did a genetic test a while back and I was shocked and dismayed to learn that a certain percentage of my genetics unexpectedly come from Britain, so I feel justified shitposting about Brexit in this thread according to the tradition of jus sanguinis.
